You can trust the revolver guy...

Of course the Commander got a couple of young GI customers to scream like they stepped on a hot coal ..............."your hammer's back!!!!!!!!"

Guess that kind of stuff better than the idiots who have to unholster their carry rig to show somebody, or bring in guns for sale/trade still loaded.

The owner handles them way better than I would.

Then there are the scheisters who say you sold them the wrong stuff (big box store sticker on package) or quoted them a ridiculously low price (trying to put shop against shop).

Ya know...........guns sure do make better company than people.

A revolver is just an old friend

In my part of the woods, gun stores display autos 15 to 1 over wheelguns. No wonder newbes end up with autos first time out of the gate! And with 9mm the cheapest ammo on the shelf, no wonder there either.
Even the gun shop staff, are all holstering autos and are eager to show their choice off.
No wonder wheelguns don't get picked until the gun owner has a chance to mature and see the light. Yes wheelguns guys are more trusted.

I qualified with my Makarov because I didn't think you were allowed to use revolvers (they had just recently changed the rules). There were a couple of guys with revolvers. "Older" guys (my age). Of course they got some of the highest scores. I could have given them better competition with my favorite 357 or 44.

I qualified for my permit with my tuned-up Tokarev because that's what I had at the time (I let my father use my Ruger Mark III because his Mark I was broken, and I could shoot the Tokarev well). I didn't own any wheel guns at that point. Were I to do it again, I'd do it with my S&W M&P .38. It's an old pre-Model 10 from around 1955. Best trigger I've ever seen on a classic revolver, nearly as good as a brand new 686.

There's a few more revolvers I want in my collection; I was going to get a WWII Victory, but came across a Parkerized post-war M&P and couldn't turn it down. I still want a Super Redhawk in .454.

Before anyone asks how a Mark I gets broken, all the springs were completely shot, including recoil and hammer. I did refurbish it for him later, though.
